If you love insanity on films that barely make sense but are a quirky acid-noir trip then Under the Silver Lake is a film for you.

I thought it was genuinely scary in spurts and gripping from start to finish even if it may be incomprehensible at some points. It may not ultimately be all that satisfying as an unwieldy mystery, the protagonist, who, I contend, the film clearly scolds, may be unpleasant, but I dug what Mitchell was going for with his third film as a director.

I have a feeling I may return to Under the Silver Lake in a decade or so and smack myself for not recognising its true genius, but today, in 2019, it's merely a commendable failure, probably the best bad movie you'll see all year. Read more

Een absoluut meesterwerk dat echter zeker niet geschikt is voor de doorsnee filmkijker. De film vereist de volledige aandacht van de kijker om alle puzzelstukjes op de juiste plek te leggen. Read more

Under the Silver Lake is een filmervaring die niet snel vergeten zal worden. Het is een filmische puzzel die smeekt om opgelost te worden, of om simpelweg te genieten van de waanzinnige rit. Het is een film die zowel bewondering als discussie uitlokt, een waar spektakel van surrealistische kunst en speurwerk in één. Read more

Niet goed, maar ook niet slecht. Een beetje er tussenin. Dat de film bij zal blijven dat weten we dan wel weer zeker. Read more

Heeft lak aan narratieve coherentie en de 139 minuten speeltijd breken de film af en toe wat op. Read more

Ambitieus, maar begaat veel misstappen door de vele scènes die niet werken. Read more
